Last second lane merger in heavy traffic

Do you find this annoying? I am waiting in line for 15+ minutes. There is these people merge in the very end. What should I say? I have to yield especially it’s big company bus

Merging at the very end is the most efficient way of driving.

Twitch Pylons Sep 19, 2018

Unless you are talking about people changing lanes at the last minute in which case yes fuck them

Google mmmmy OP Sep 19, 2018

Yeah, I mean in heavy traffic.

Pandora Calla Sep 19, 2018

This is the right way of merging. Take up all the space on the available lane and merge when this lane ends. Early mergers kill it for everyone esle by creating more friction than needed.

No. this blocks the main lane but leave the exit lane empty. You cause trouble to other people.

Callas correct, late merging reduces traffic jams by making more efficient use of the road

Zipper

Google mmmmy OP Sep 19, 2018

Then long exit lane shouldn't exist

Sorry about that

VMware Eeeeeek Sep 19, 2018

It’s already been studied and proven. Use the merge lane until the end, then zipper.

Google an article about the zipper merge. Smart people say it’s actually the best way to go. I agree it’s annoying

Don’t be jealous. Just let them in...they are merging. They shouldn’t have to merge at the end of the line.

Honk them loud. Dont resist honking. Open car window and yell.

Roku @roku Sep 19, 2018

You can be ticketed for honking in non emergency situations

It’s an alpha vs beta debate. Beta’s will continue to debate the ethics of it, while the aplhas (like me) will continue to do it and ignore everything from the beta debate.

Google mmmmy OP Sep 19, 2018

Thanks. I think I will do the same as you

Dell rgc?&@1! Sep 19, 2018

Bay area traffic is getting worse day by day... people drive crazy because they are getting late by 2 min for kids class. They dont understand the implications if someone is hurt even minor
